"...so what do you think happens to a person if their azmosis is too low..?" He quietly asked slowing the pace at which he spoke, trying to mask his clear nervousness.

As a government attempt to lower crime rates and promote world peace, a new technology has been invented that scores a person based on the number of good or bad deeds a person has committed. Everyone starts at a hundred-- a perfect score but with every moral oddity that the system finds, points are deducted. They can be gained too, if a person does a good deed, saves a life or acts in a way that's deemed commendable.
They call this score azymus. It dictates a person's occupation, wealth, to whom their heart is allowed to yearn for, what dreams were already shattered or could be fulfilled; in essence, their very place in this world.

The Revelation
In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.Hoàn thành
Whispers of Fate
"I don't have any expectations from this marriage, nor am I looking for love," he said. "I am entering into this marriage merely to honor my promise to Sahil, for the sake of his parents and your daughter." ♡ "She will never love you the way she loved him", the harsh truth was reminded to him again. He replied, "She may never love me, and that doesn't matter to me. My love for her is boundless, enough to fill both our hearts and keep me content. Also, I don't ever want her to love me the way she loved him. Even if she gives me ten percent of that love, I'll be the happiest man alive." ♡ Anisha Mehta finds herself at a crossroads after the tragic loss of her husband. Left to raise their young daughter alone, her world turns grey, and hope seems distant. Destiny plays its tune and ties her into a marriage of convenience with Atharva Raichand, an intimidating and enigmatic billionaire with a significant secret hidden behind his ruthless and chilling exterior. As Anisha navigates the uncharted waters of a marriage born out of obligation, she begins to unravel the layers of Atharva's heart and confront her feelings. ♡ The story follows their journey as they navigate the nuances of their evolving relationship, amidst societal expectations, unexpressed emotions, and the haunting echoes of Sahil's memory. Set against a backdrop of family dynamics, emotional turmoil, and unexpected alliances, the story explores the depths of love, sacrifice, and the courage it takes to embrace a new beginning. Will Anisha and Atharva find the strength to heal each other's wounds and embark on a path of love and companionship? Or will the shadows of the past forever cloud their chance of happiness?

Prisons of Ice and Fire
A CliFi short story. Imagine a place where there is a searing thousand mile desert that runs to a sea... ...a sea that one hundred miles off shore is so cold you die within a minute if you fall in. Five hundred miles to the south of the sea is a frozen landscape in perpetual winter... ... a place that is always snowed on and that frequently calves monster icebergs. Hardly anywhere on land is safe; little life survives. The last refuge of mankind are the Stilt Cities, floating in the middle of the ocean. To the north are the Desert Domes: the last farms, protecting plants from the intense heat and sand. To the south the Ice Quarries: the last supply of fresh, cooling water. A current system moves strongly along the divide of heat and cold, but rarely over it. You, however, move across it like a metronome... tick... tick... tick... ...and as the prison ship Destiny plies the waves, a secretive cult have a strange request of the Captain.Hoàn thành
Terraria: Another Day Under the Glass
'Death never stops surprising you.' A sentiment Aria knows all too well. Her world on its surface is perfect. A completely enclosed ecosystem protected from the nuclear winter of the Outside World. No sickness, no famine, nothing to worry about. Nothing that is except for Spectre, the computer system that determines who lives and dies annually based on their importance to society. Somehow everyone around her seems to cope, but seeing as how Spectre has taken every member of her family, Aria struggles to fall in line with the status quo. Whether it's pressure from the powers that be, her first potential love, or full on revolution, Aria seems to be pulled in every direction, each one with drastic consequences, and no clue which way to go.Hoàn thành
